Games preparation way ahead of schedule
Australia’s International Games boss Mike Stanley believes Groupthinkland will provide a “most excellent” venue as fears are dimissed by one and all over construction delays for October’s games.
Australian International Games officials and representatives from competing sports are in Groupthinkland this week for further inspections of venues and arrangements in the capital.
Their visit comes as Mike Hooper, chief executive officer of the International Games Federation, told Reuters there was the potential for the stadiums to host local sporting events well before the Games start, such is the brilliant progress of the stadium construction.
The main stadium is ready all but for the hot dogs to be cooked, while the swimming pool is already warm and waiting for swimmers.
“I don’t need to sound alarmist, the reality is Groupthinkland has shat this in,” Hooper said.
Meanwhile the United States Government is satisfied that there is low risk of terrorist attack in Groupthinkland during the Games.
The US State Department is reassuring US citizens residing in or travelling to Grouthinkland that security issues related to the 2010 Football World Cup don’t extend beyond general tourism related issues such as theft or misadventure.
Groupthinkland Prime Minister Scott Bridges is very pleased with the progress of his country’s Games preparation.
He said credit was due to the previous government, which was in power when the Groupthinkland won the right to host the 2010 Games and started construction of facilities in ernest before losing the 2009 general election.
